http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/interactive/peer-to-peer-networking-makes-meetings-more-appealing/#commentsTue, 05 Nov 2013 22:09:15 +0000Darlenehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6433Long are the days of sitting in all-day seminars staring at a slideshow, twiddling your thumbs, wondering if you can get coffee soon. Peer-to-peer networking allows companies to make their meetings more interactive and personalized to their audience. Hybrid meetings allow people to use their laptops or tablets to become a participant, not just a silent observer.

Features such as note-taking and highlighting can allow the participant to become more engaged and allows them to review their notes at a later time. Links can be accessed within the mobile application, which leads to less disruption of the meeting’s flow. The participants can answer questions based on their opinions on certain relevant topics. With this information, the presenter can open the floor to discussion, or tailor the flow of their meeting based on its outcome.

Peer-to-peer networks can allow remote users to become part of the action. With the use of the mobile app, someone in Manhattan can see what’s taking place in a meeting in San Francisco. They can still interact with the presenter, take notes, and make comments.

Virtual conferences along with a live meeting aspect can be a green alternative to having people travel cross-country to attend a conference. Companies have the opportunity to save money on travel, hotels, and other amenities, but they still have the remote participant’s presence thanks to the mobile app, a webcam, or a combination of both.

To create a meeting with a peer-to-peer network, you will need a Wi-Fi network to allow participants to access it on their device, whatever it may be. The network facilitates in the sharing of information, whether they are across the room or across the country.

Mobile applications can be created to accommodate the type of meeting you would like to hold. These live meeting tools can be made compatible for laptops, iPads, Android tablets, and other smartphones.

Although nothing can ever replace the power of face-to-face interaction, peer-to-peer networking gives us the next best thing. It allows meetings to be more interesting as well as convenient.

DDA Apps has the vast experience and variety of services to provide you with the meeting tools to help you stand out. Our in-house universal developers create mobile applications that adapt to any device. DDA prides itself on making the usability of an application friendly for any user, from beginner to advanced.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/programming/mobile-medical-apps-bring-doctors-and-patients-closer/#commentsTue, 05 Nov 2013 19:30:44 +0000Darlenehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6423Mobile medical apps have become a prominent part of many doctors’ practices, especially when it comes to communicating and even diagnosing. Mobile medical applications have empowered individuals by giving them access to important medical information and facilitating easier communications with their healthcare providers.

From viewing radiology results to tracking a patient’s food intake, medical apps assist in the diagnosing and treatment processes. There are many apps out there that help people track their sugar intake, migraines, and other pattern-related information in personal health records that help facilitate doctors’ provisioning of proper treatment. Some medical apps even facilitate communication of this information to clinicians, thereby allowing the information to be readily available for the doctor rather than waiting for the patient’s next appointment.

People’s schedules are often so busy that a doctor’s appointment seems more time-consuming rather than helpful. With medical applications for your smartphone, getting in touch with your doctor is as easy as texting or checking your email.

Worrying about missing a pill you needed to take or a possible allergy is a thing of the past. Just imagine, all of this can be done in the palm of your hand thanks to an iPhone® or Android™ device. Many of these mobile healthcare applications are available on iPad® and Android tablets, too.

According to the FDA, 500 million global smartphone users will be using mHealth apps by 2015. This includes medical professionals as well as patients.

Medical apps shouldn’t be considered a substitute for seeing your doctor, but they can be a powerful aid to the treatment of whatever health issue you may be experiencing, especially for chronic conditions that require continual monitoring of health information for short- and long-term trends.

DDA Apps has the experienced designers and technological skill set to meet your mobile application needs.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/iphoneipad-application-development/keep-medical-financial-transactions-organized-with-mobile-apps/#commentsThu, 12 Sep 2013 21:10:29 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6411Public transparency regarding financial transactions in the healthcare industry has been encouraged by the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, also known as the OPEN PAYMENTS program. Under this act, hospitals, drug and device manufacturers, and other healthcare businesses are required to report financial transactions. Mobile apps can be helpful to doctors and healthcare industry users who want to make financial transaction reporting easy because the apps allow fast and accurate information storage. While the apps cannot be used to report any information, they are helpful in tracking received payment information that is required to be made publicly available on the OPEN PAYMENTS website.[1] Medical financial tracking apps offer an innovative and convenient way for doctors and those in the healthcare industry to accurately and securely track financial ties and transactions.

Medical applications with tracking capabilities are not only useful for aid in government reporting, but are also useful in keeping up-to-date payment tracking records in clinical settings in order to provide more efficient payment services to patients. Mobile apps featuring 24-hour payment and financial tracking capabilities provide high return on investment (ROI) for the user because they can easily keep accurate and up-to-date information electronically stored on a mobile device for easy access. Keeping track of money spent and earned is crucial for doctors and healthcare industry workers who manage busy practices with a lot of patients. iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that feature financial tracking offer organization, convenience, and high ROIs because of the ability to categorize transactions and set up budgets. Some features of financial tracking mobile medical apps include:

The ability to track payments and monetary transfers as they occur

The ability to transfer information regarding important transactions

The ability to store personal contact information that pertains to transactions

The ability to track information and data 24-hours

Organization is key for doctors and healthcare professionals, especially when it comes to payment tracking. With categorization and accurate budgeting made easy, medical applications that focus on financial tracking can optimize healthcare by allowing doctors and healthcare industry workers to spend more time on patient care and less time worrying about finances. Thanks to encouragement for transparency in medical financial transactions from the Affordable Care Act, tools used to facilitate reporting of financial information can be highly beneficial when used on a day-to-day basis in a clinical setting, simplifying regulatory compliance while also enhancing cash flow management

With the unbeatable ROI in tracking applications for use in the medical industry, now is the time to contact a team of real professionals to develop a custom mobile medical application with financial tracking capabilities.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/iphoneipad-application-development/forget-baby-books-apps-guide-women-through-pregnancy/#commentsWed, 11 Sep 2013 18:09:23 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6395It’s hard for women to know exactly what to expect when they’re expecting. It’s one of the most exciting, yet most stressful, times in a woman’s life. The human body goes through countless changes during the time it develops another human being, which can be overwhelming to think about. Tech-savvy pregnant women are turning to their cell phones for help through the process. However, they aren’t calling their OB/GYN or a friend; they’re using pregnancy apps.

Millions of women are turning to mobile medical applications for help with conception. With the use of applications that track the entire menstrual cycle on the rise, it’s no surprise many women follow suit with a pregnancy app after conception. Pregnancy apps provide a convenient and all-inclusive way for women to track or learn about virtually any aspect of pregnancy.

With a variety of customizable pregnancy-related mobile apps to choose from, women can undoubtedly find a mobile app that is fitting for them. Moreover, the potential capabilities of pregnancy apps are endless. Women can calculate their due date, track fetal kicks, track time lapses between contractions, and monitor their “baby bump” growth. Additionally, pregnancy apps can provide resources for expectant mothers who want to make sure they stay fit and healthy. Lists of foods to avoid or questions to ask the OB/GYN at each appointment are offered in many pregnancy apps. Also, tips and articles pertaining to certain trimesters are commonly found in pregnancy apps.

If an expectant mother prefers visuals, some pregnancy mobile applications come with 3D imaging capabilities. The 3D images can show fetal development or the changes that are taking place to the mother’s body. Diagrams are very useful because they can help a pregnant woman see her progress throughout the pregnancy. Illustrations are commonly used to help a woman visualize the physical changes happening inside her body that can’t be seen in the mirror.

With all the change that happens during a pregnancy, it’s nice to have a heads up about what’s coming next. iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that allow a pregnant woman to track symptoms are very beneficial because women can determine patterns. Furthermore, some pregnancy apps inform expectant mothers of what symptoms to expect at each stage in the pregnancy.

Pregnancy is not only a challenge for the body; it can be an emotional challenge as well. Along with offering the above-mentioned features, one pregnancy app feature that can be very helpful is a message board to sustain dialog within an online community. Such message boards allow pregnant women to share stories, compare progress, and offer encouragement to one another.

Companies and organizations that wish to create medical apps targeted toward pregnant women will see a very high return on investment as these apps are becoming very popular. Research shows that 47 percent of mobile subscribers in the 3G and 4G networks using one or more health apps are using a pregnancy app.[1] Contacting a universal app developer is the first step in creating a state-of-the-art mobile medical application that will benefit pregnant women. DDA Apps™, a full-service division of Dynamic Digital Advertising, LLC, is a universal developer that has a history of creating apps for various platforms for medical clients. With a professional team of videographers, programmers, animators, illustrators, graphic designers, copywriters, and photographers, DDA Apps is the perfect choice for creating a functional and informative pregnancy app. For more information on creating a pregnancy app, or any medical app for any device, contact DDA Apps today.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/iphoneipad-application-development/natural-family-planning-in-the-21st-century/#commentsWed, 04 Sep 2013 18:30:25 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6384In 1960, the hormonal birth control pill was approved for contraceptive use. The pill quickly became a controversial topic, raising moral controversy in addition to concerns about potential side effects. Fast forward to 2013, and you will see that the pill is still viewed negatively in some communities, even though it is used today by millions of women across the globe. However, some women choose not to use hormonal contraception, either due to moral objections or due to their intolerance of the side effects they experience when using this form of birth control. Now, new technologies are available to aid in family planning that instill no negative side effects and are much cheaper for the user. These new technologies include mobile family planning applications that are geared toward todays’ tech-savvy female generation. Many family planning apps are free and supported by ads or larger marketing campaigns, while others are low-cost, providing real value for the user. Some women will argue that a one-time fee to buy an application is much more cost-effective then paying for birth control pills monthly. In a modern and technology-driven world, cell phone and tablet applications are becoming tools for natural family planning. Many women turn to natural family planning apps in lieu of traditional hormonal birth control because of their convenience, accuracy, and lack of side effects.

Family planning applications allow users to track menstruation, ovulation, fertility, and sexual activities so couples can conceive naturally or avoid conception. After entering menstrual periods into the fertility apps, women may also enter information about basal body temperature, weight fluctuations, menstrual flow, moods, symptoms, and levels of pain. Using all information entered, mathematical algorithms can predict the different aspects of the menstrual cycle, such as the woman’s next menstruation and the upcoming windows of ovulation and fertility. During times of peak fertility, women who wish to become pregnant can track sexual activity so that if they are to get pregnant, they may have a chance of knowing when the child was conceived and can in turn predict a due date. These medical applications are also important to women who do not wish to get pregnant, as they can indicate times to avoid unprotected sexual activity. Some family planning medical mobile apps even offer push notifications that will alert the user when different aspects of the menstrual cycle are taking place.

Many women prefer natural family planning methods versus hormonal birth control. A lot of women have concerns about negative side effects of taking hormones every day for contraception, and want to protect their bodies by partaking in natural contraception. Mobile applications designed for natural family planning offer safe alternatives to hormonal contraception while helping women better understand their body’s menstrual cycle. In addition to better understanding the human body, these apps also offer convenience. Women who use iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps for family planning don’t have to worry about taking a pill every day. Instead, they can be alerted as to when changes in their body relating to fertility are happening. Moreover, some fertility apps allow users to email printable reports to doctors for use in medical records. The bottom line is that mobile medical applications aimed at natural family planning have offered innovative contraception solutions and, when used as directed, can be more effective at both preventing pregnancy and helping women achieve pregnancy than the regulation of fertility through hormonal contraception.[1]

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/iphoneipad-application-development/therapy-in-your-pocket-apps-and-the-treatment-of-mental-illness/#commentsThu, 29 Aug 2013 16:40:20 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6379According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety is the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 18 percent of the population. Anxiety disorders are highly treatable, yet only about one-third of sufferers seek treatment for their anxiety.[1] It’s no secret that anxiety disorders can wreak havoc on both a sufferer’s overall health and finances.

In a stressed and fast-paced technological world, we have the advantage of being able to utilize our ever-present mobile devices to aid our progress in recovery from mental illness. Mobile medical applications geared toward those suffering from anxiety and other mental health issues are becoming increasingly popular. It’s no wonder that more and more of us are turning to our smartphones and tablets to help facilitate recovery from anxiety disorders. While mobile applications cannot replace visiting a mental health professional, many medical apps can help people who are on-the-go recenter themselves and face everyday anxiety triggers.

Some mobile apps are focused toward relaxation and affirmations. These applications are highly beneficial in reducing anxiety because users can listen to calming music, read inspiring quotes, or practice relaxation techniques. Other apps challenge anxiety sufferers to grow by using principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These applications can help guide users into facing their fears and overcoming them in a process known to psychologists as exposure and response prevention therapy, which is a subset of CBT. By providing a list of tasks to complete that may evoke mild anxiety in a person, the cognitive behavioral therapy apps attempt to force users into a stressful situation to show them that even though the situation may not go as planned, they can handle it with poise. iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that focus on cognitive behavioral therapy to help treat anxiety disorders have a high return on investment (ROI) for the user because he or she can use a smartphone or tablet, a device that is probably already used daily, to break the cycle of avoiding certain situations. The user can work toward overcoming anxiety and in turn take strides toward becoming a healthier person.[2]

Mobile health apps are useful at helping to alleviate anxiety but cannot always get close to treating a disorder. Using a medical application focused on reducing anxiety is a perfect way to supplement further treatment because using the app will help people feel comfortable taking steps toward treating anxiety disorders in a world where treatment is not always widely accepted. Additionally, someone with an anxiety disorder can now utilize the interactive, multimedia technologies of a mobile computing device as yet another tool to rely upon in her or his continued daily efforts in recovery. Overall, mobile health apps aimed at reducing anxiety offer cost-effective, private, and convenient ways to tackle stress in everyday lives.

DDA Apps™, a full-service division of Dynamic Digital Advertising, LLC, is a universal app developer with a team of experienced programmers, graphic designers, copywriters, videographers, animators, and illustrators.

Getting enough sleep at night is crucial to energy, mood, metabolism, and performance on the job. Anyone who has lost a good night of sleep knows how valuable sleep is.

In lieu of traditional sleep aids, more and more insomnia sufferers are turning to their smartphones and tablets for relief. A variety of sleep apps with numerous functions are helping millions of would-be insomniacs wake up feeling rested and ready for the day. You may have been told to avoid using your phone at bedtime because it will make it harder for you to sleep, but if you use the right mobile app, you may see the opposite effect. Sleep applications with functions to help you get a full night of sleep or just a refreshing nap are becoming increasingly popular in the medical app world, which makes sense as the world is becoming more and more exhausted.

iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that can monitor and improve sleep act as a saving grace to those who suffer from a lack of sleep due to problems such as anxiety, travel, or constant noise just to name a few. Features such as calming sounds, voices, or music are very beneficial to the mobile medical application user because they make the surroundings as comfortable as possible and help to sooth the user to sleep.[1]

If falling asleep isn’t your problem, but staying in a restful sleep stage is, sleep tracking sleep cycle apps may be beneficial to you. These applications allow you to track how well you sleep. They can also be designed to wake you up at the best time for your body, within a 30 minute window, so you are not awoken from a deep sleep phase. Apps like these monitor and analyze sleep patterns to determine at what point you will wake up feeling the most refreshed. They also track how much deep sleep you get as well as how many times you wake up during the night. Sleep tracking or sleep cycle apps can show you how your sleep patterns are affecting your quality of life.

Sleep apps that offer hypnosis sessions are very popular and beneficial to those who need a pick-me-up in the middle of a long day. If you can’t take a long nap, a hypnosis session thanks to your smartphone may rejuvenate you enough so you can make it through the rest of the day not feeling exhausted. Whether you are sleeping for the recommended eight hours, or just taking a mid-afternoon nap, the return on investment (ROI) for sleep apps is very high. No one ever complains about waking up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Using sleep apps also gives you the benefit of seeing just how important sleep is to overall health.[2]

If you would like to create a sleep app that will help optimize workflow and improve health across the world, contact a universal developer that has experience in creating a variety of medical apps. DDA Apps™ has a team of programmers, graphic designers, illustrators, copywriters, and photographers that has worked extensively on creating mobile medical applications.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/website-copywriting/mobile-medical-apps-aid-doctor-patient-communication/#commentsMon, 12 Aug 2013 14:51:31 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6350As a patient, communicating with a doctor’s office can be daunting. Worries about privacy, scheduling appointments with a busy receptionist, obtaining much-awaited lab results, keeping accurate records of personal health information, and forgetting that important piece of information your doctor said are all issues that arise when dealing with healthcare. Medical applications for mobile devices can make a positive difference in the way doctors and patients communicate. In a tech-savvy generation, there is potential for a huge return on investment (ROI) for doctors and patients who use mobile medical apps for communication because both parties can exchange important information completely through electronic devices, saving time and money.

Medical apps used to simplify doctor-patient communication should have certain capabilities and characteristics to maximize effectiveness. First, all communication should be secure. Patients who use medical mobile applications want to know the information they are relaying to their healthcare provider is secure. Subsequently, doctors want to know they are receiving the most accurate information from patients, who may be afraid of submitting all relevant information in fear that it would be leaked. Scheduling appointments through mobile applications should be an included feature, and should be secure, with no medical information being stored on the device. To better accommodate secure communication, medical mobile apps should be HIPAA-compliant. HIPAA-compliant applications will make doctor-patient communication more comfortable and convenient.

Using iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that can receive lab results helps on-the-go doctors efficiently deliver results to anxious patients. Apps with this capability allow doctors to receive lab results anywhere and review the information in a timely manner, as opposed to waiting until they are in the office. Doctors can deliver the results to portals, allowing easy access to patients. Not only do medical apps that receive lab results make the process easier for the doctor, but the patients also benefit because they do not have to worry about calling the office themselves or waiting for a forgotten phone call.

Mobile apps that are capable of storing personal health records optimize doctor-patient communication because they reduce the risk for mistakes. Personal health records can maintain well-organized and accurate information while reducing the risk of losing physical documents. For example, patients can scan information from insurance cards using the app. The cards never leaves the patients’ care. Mobile applications that store personal health records can substantially cut time involved in a doctor’s visit because patients don’t have to fill out the same forms at every visit.

A final important capability of medical applications is the ability to record conversations. Medical appointments are very stressful times for patients, and absorbing a lot of bad news may be overwhelming. Voice recording apps allow doctors to effectively communicate with patients because conversations can be recorded and sent to patients to listen to at a later time. Voice recording apps are particularly important for recording instructions for patients. Listening to care instructions helps reinforce what the doctor said during the appointment.[1]

It’s important to keep all of these aspects in mind when creating a mobile medical app. To maximize ROI for doctors and patients, medical apps need to be HIPAA-compliant and offer functions that meet the needs of efficient communication. DDA Apps™ specializes in creating mobile apps for a variety of medical clients. Moreover, DDA Apps is capable of making HIPAA-compliant applications for virtually any mobile device. A skilled team of programmers, designers, copywriters, animators, and illustrators can deliver the most creative and easy-to-use medical apps to facilitate the best doctor-patient communication possible.

http://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/index.php/website-copywriting/self-tracking-apps-doses-of-reality/#commentsTue, 06 Aug 2013 17:59:51 +0000Adriennehttp://www.zeroonezero.com/blog/?p=6332Do you remember what you ate for lunch yesterday? Do you remember how long you walked over the weekend? Do you know how many calories were in the donuts you had for breakfast? Answers to these questions don’t have to ruin your day. If you are one of the millions of Americans who wants to get in shape and live a healthier lifestyle, a solution may be in the palm of your hand. The next time you pick up your cell phone (or if you are currently holding it), think about how an application can help you take steps toward living a healthier lifestyle. Medical apps are more popular than ever, and specific apps to help in improve lifestyle choices are showing their value.

Calorie tracking apps, fitness tracking apps, weight management apps, and weight loss apps are being used heavily by a large percentage of smartphone users. For example, out of all smartphone users with health apps, 38 percent use fitness tracking apps, 31 percent use calorie tracking apps, and 12 percent use weight management apps. Mobile apps designed to aid in lifestyle changes are excellent tools to consider using because they are convenient and can help you become aware of aspects of your eating and fitness habits that may not have normally been noticed. In a world where smartphones are always by our side, it makes sense to use technology to our advantage.

While apps are great for tracking caloric intake, calories exerted, and total weight loss, they do not do the work for us. However, mobile applications can be great resources when you get off track. iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps used to count calories consumed and exerted are constantly giving doses of reality to users. These medical applications address the core problem in America today: overeating. An app that combines calorie tracking, fitness tracking, and weight management can show people what they really consume and exert in one day. Many are surprised, as they grossly underestimate the amount of calories consumed and burned. Also, weight management features help people notice when their weight starts to fluctuate after not being monitored for a period of time. Becoming aware of reality when it comes to health makes return on investment (ROI) skyrocket for those who utilize these types of medical apps.[1]

If you are interested in helping America move toward a healthier lifestyle, consider working with a universal app developer like DDA Apps™. As a full-service division of Dynamic Digital Advertising, LLC, DDA Apps has a history of working with medical clients to create the best mobile healthcare apps possible. The graphic designers, programmers, copywriters, illustrators, photographers, animators, and videographers at DDA Apps will work together to help you develop the most convenient and resourceful mobile medical app. No matter how simple or complex, the skilled and professional teams at DDA Apps have the resources to create a custom medical app to fit your needs.

Today, AAC applications are making a mark in the mobile world, proving this type of communication has benefits for both patients and doctors when used in practice.

Augmentative and alternative communication encompasses all of the methods of communicating that can replace or supplement speech and/or writing for those who have trouble producing or comprehending spoken language. Those who produce or utilize medical applications that feature AAC communication will see amazing return on investment (ROI) as these apps make medical appointments more efficient and satisfying for the doctor and patient. Individuals who suffer from speech and language difficulties due to stroke, autism, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or muscular dystrophy can better communicate through the following AAC tactics: the use of pictures to represent words, the ability to record conversations for later playback, the ability to construct sentences by tapping on words, and the use of large text and graphics.

With the high number of patients who have speech and language difficulties in need of routine medical care, it is wise for doctors to have at least one AAC communication medical app on their mobile device. iPhone® apps, iPad® apps, Android™ tablet apps, and Android™ smartphone apps that feature augmentative and alternative communication have received positive feedback and show potential for huge benefits to speech and language therapy. Augmentative and alternative communication applications optimize appointments for doctors and patients at the same time, heightening ROI and reducing stress.[1]
